She’s Leaving Home Lyrics by Syreeta

[Verse 1]
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the back door key
Stepping outside she is free
[Chorus]
She (We gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)
Home (We gave her everything that money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
(So long)
[Verse 2]
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy, our baby's gone, mmm
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me, oh
[Chorus]
She (We never thought of ourselves)
Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
(So long)
[Verse 3]
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
(She is far away)
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade
[Outro]
She (What did we do that was so damn wrong?)
Is having (We didn't know it was wrong)
Fun (One thing that money can't buy)
Something inside that was always denied for so many years
She's leaving home
She is leaving home
Bye-bye (Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
Goodbye, bye
Don't forget, you always have a home
